Last one of week 8!!
It actually feels quiet scary that next week will be my last week of C25k, where did those last 8 weeks go?
It’s ok though ive down loaded a few training aps for 10k just need to look at which ones best as some of them seem to take me backwards quiet a bit to start with.
I have so many people who bave inspired me to start my c25k journey, each and everyone one of them I am greatful to, people who showed and supported me in believing I could do this. One of those people is Ainsley who is running a full marathon in London this morning! My run will be absolutely nothing compared to what she is taking on today and Ive planned to run early so I can track and follow her progress. Cheering her along from my sofa. Running really has become my hobby. Not sure if I can call myself a runner just yet, what point do you become classed as a runner? Is there a definitive point?
Looking a bit windy this morning and not the warmest of weather but at least its dry.
Decided to try a different approach this morning. For the past two runs the first five minutes has seemed tough so today I took the trail route and joined Rothervalley further down before I knew it the first 5 minutes had gone and it was half time!
Not sure if my bodys just built up and ajusted to the longer running time or if mentally not looking at the full lake too early on thinking I’ve got to get round that.
Got to the last corner before the enterance when I was told that was it, my time was up. I was determined to finish the lake so kept repeatedly telling myself your not stopping, your not stopping and I did it!! Yay!!
Mixed emotions at end of today’s run Im absolutly extatic that I did it! I ran both lakes at Rothervalley but I’m also a little gutted I was so close to covering 5K and if id have just gone on another minute I’d have done it, I’ll have it on next weeks runs!!
I’m comming to get that first medal next week!
